There are a lot of posts lately giving advice about how you should avoid a breeder if they’re asking for a deposit to hold a puppy. Calling breeders that do this, scammers. I just want to say that it is perfectly normal for reputable breeders to require a deposit to hold a puppy. Deposits are the buyers way of saying I for sure want this specific puppy & it also ensures that the breeder is going to hold said puppy for the buyer. There are a lot of window shoppers and people who are not serious who will claim a puppy and then never reply again. Some people do this even after paying a deposit 🤯.

It is also normal for breeders to not allow anyone to go to their house to pick one out. Reputable breeders will gladly meet if the puppy is old enough, or offer facetime. That is for the safety of their dogs, puppies and families. There are bad people who pretend to be good people. I can name a good amount of popular breeders that have acquired parvo who also allow home visits as well. Once parvo is on your property it is very hard to be rid of and some strains affect vaccinated dogs as well. It’s just simply not worth it.

These things do not make a breeder a scammer. I do understand that there are a lot of scammers, especially for popular breeds. I’ve had a lot of people message me specifically letting me know that people are pretending to be my program. We will never message you from a page that isn’t our Facebook, Instagram, or Gooddog. We only have 1 account for each.

So how to spot a scammer:
1) If the price seems too good, it’s likely a scam.
2) Photos are of multiple puppies on differing backgrounds or differing ages.
3) They can’t offer references.
4) They decline FaceTime.
5) They don’t have photos of parents or photos of parents don’t make sense for the litter.
6) They give a cheap price for transport.
7) They’re very persistent regarding sending money.

How can you protect yourself from being scammed?
1) FaceTime! Ask to FaceTime in live time (not video!) to see that your puppy is real.
2) Ask for references. Even if a breeder is new they should have people willing to be a reference (family, friends, vet).
3) Get acquired with prices of puppies in your area (Gooddog.com is a good reference).
4) know that transport is generally costly as well (500+) so free transport/etc should be researched more.
5) If they give a kennel name or a photo has a kennel name SEARCH IT. Then message that page to make sure you’re speaking to the same person.
6) ASK QUESTIONS. There are no bad questions!
7) Ask for parents test results and ensure name and description (if there is one listed) match the dog. I give lots of advice about colors on my page.
8 ) Ask other breeders about the breeder you’re interested in.

It’s okay to want to visit a breeders home as well. There is a large amount who don’t allow it any longer, for good reasons, but if that’s a deal breaker for you just be kind and ask that breeder for a referral to a breeder who does. There are breeders who don’t live in remote areas, don’t have small children, have a separate building to allow for separation from their main areas, have kennels, etc… which allows for less risk altogether.

And remember a good breeder is willing and happy to assist with helping you feel comfortable with them. 😊

NEW PUPPY OWNERS…….

As puppies head to their new homes I wanted to touch base on a common issue that breeders come across with new owners.

Realistic Expectations

You see the breeders pictures and videos and The pups are all social. They are quiet in the pen. The breeder shows you videos of them being totally relaxed, happy, playful. All looks amazing and you bring your puppy home.

Then reality hits. The puppy may cry in the crate for the first few nights making you tired and agitated. The happy social puppy is refusing to greet the half dozen overly excited friends you invited over to see your new puppy. Or the overly excited playful children you have at home. The puppy refuses to walk on a leash. Many are wondering how did my perfect puppy turn into a nightmare.

So let’s discuss realistic expectations of when a puppy goes home. First of all the puppy has been in the breeders home since birth. They had their mother and often littermates. They had their routine, were taught expectations and were completely in their comfort zone.

Now suddenly they are taken to a totally new environment. Picture yourself being dropped into an unknown country, often in a different part of the world. You know only a few words of their language. Differnt trees, animals, smells, temperature and people. Now in the middle of this we are switching up your routine, decide to have a party with people you dont know, and ask you to do jobs you have no idea about. Overwhelming to say the least.

This is what every puppy goes through when going to their new home. Stress manifests in different forms. From not eating, reluctancy to play and greet people. Being apprehensive at the vet’s office or as strangers reach for them. Diarrhea, vomiting and depression can occur.

So what can you as a new owner do to help your little one acclimate?

- most puppies take 3-4 weeks to acclimate to their new home. Repeat after me THREE to FOUR WEEKS sometimes even Longer! Not a 1-2 days. I can’t stress this enough about how much time is needed for a dog or puppy to feel comfortable in their new home!
- limit guests during the first week. We understand you are excited to show off your new baby but they need time to adjust. Plan on waiting 1-2 weeks before inviting people over
- ask guest to sit on the ground and let the puppy approach them. No squealing and grabbing the puppy
- set up a good routine
- restrict the puppy to a small area of the house. This not only reduces them being overwhelmed but also allows you to watch them
- don’t expect a 8-13 week old puppy to walk on a leash. Instead work at home with a leash where they are comfortable. Let them drag the leash, use treats to encourage them to walk with you
- if your puppy is refusing to walk give them time. My first trips to town with puppies a walk around a small block took 1 1/2 hours. We only move when they initiate the movement as they need time to take in the different environment
- understand your puppy needs time to see you as family. Expecting an immediate bond is unrealistic
- train your puppy. This not only helps you to bond but the puppy to look to you for direction and input
-Children are also big stressors to tiny fragile puppies, please keep an eye on puppy at all times when around children.
- lastly be patient. Don’t declare “omg there’s something wrong with this dog”. Nothing occurs overnight. Outings should be planned at puppy speed. So while you might imagine a fun walk around the lake in reality your puppy might only be able to handle walking a short distance that day.

Most outings for me take a long time, as I am often just standing still as the puppy cautiously explores the new environment. Patience is key!

Remember if the puppy was wonderful at the breeder’s house but now is struggling, you as the owner, need to help the puppy adjust which takes time, patience and training. Have realistic expectations and give the puppy positive experiences. Each puppy is an individual, don’t compare your current puppy to past pets and judge their behavior based on how another dog handled things. Lastly, try to see thing’s from a puppy’s perspective and adjust situations accordingly.
